    Its still illegal. Don’t pretend your actions hold some sort of moral high ground. If you disagree with the law go change it.

        You don’t have to respect any laws. That’s your progitive. However, don’t claim a moral high ground

          I don’t care about the moral high ground. Large corporations can go fuck themselves, seeing as they fuck us every day.

          I see what you’re getting at, but I think ‘moral high ground’ might not be the phrase you’re looking for.

          Laws and morals are explicitly different. That’s why juries exist, so that a law may be put against the morals of a situation and the morals may prevail if need be.

          Breaking the law isn’t necessarily immoral. It’s just illegal. So it isn’t like someone breaking the law is seeking to take the moral high ground in the first place, nor does that mean that someone who only ever follows the law always has the moral high ground. Lawful-evil does exist.
